Puddn – Can you tighten your by-laws to include operating hours for the washing machines? This would need approval at a general meeting, and would also need to be registered, before it becomes enforceable.
I am not claiming that the following comment applies to your scheme but sometimes strata schemes erroneously believe that ‘house rules’ posted on the wall of a laundry are sufficient to impact on behaviour. However, by-laws are the only enforceable methods to do this, particularly for certain types of people e.g. those who like to ‘push the boundaries’.
A by-law should avoid the subjectivity surrounding “fair and reasonable”.
